Ethiopian Livestock Feeds Project Synthesis Meeting

28-29 May 2012
Addis Ababa

Techfit SWOT

Strengths

Lists most feed technologies
filters technologies according to contexts of the farmer
considers most limiting factors, eg land
a rapid tool
quick and comprehensive
puts feed in a broader context
helps to systematize shortlisting of technology options

Weaknesses

does not consider Water availability
the scoring may mask some potential technologies
narrow scoring range for attributes and contexts (1-3 only)
gives equal weights to all attributes
not yet complete, also the cost benefit tool

Opportunities to use

wide context range = wider application
wide technology range = wide application across AEZ
